      abstract = {The new technologies in the field of food processing  provide the opportunity to revive some productions that are  crushed by the global market and environmental issues.  However in the citrus sector the lack of investment and  difficulties to manage economic cost are likely to slow  down the take-off of these innovations. Starting from the  results of the 7FP European Project NAMASTE, this paper  provides a methodology for the computation of the full cost  of several citrus by-products and an attempts to analyse  through a simulation model the decision making problem of a  citrus firm who decide to upgrade citrus waste in order to  obtain several by-products. The results show the importance  of using the full cost in the management of resources.  However, the possibility of producing from citrus wastes  are constrained by production capacity resources and by the  overall efficiency of production technologies. The economic  sustainability can be achieved by an increases in  production efficiency, improving the technologies and the  ability to reuse waste. However, a large amount of  investment is still required, which only the large firms  can support, at least in the short term.},
